Resuming this discussion, I've just acquired a MSI notebook with Retina display (2880x1620). I changed the screen fonts sizes and set the Instant Preview size to the factor 1.8. With these modifications, I can read what's on the screen fairly well. However, the icons are still too small, even when I use Big-sized icons. Is there a way to make a further increase in the size of the icons? Thanks.
